New Packaging by Zentiva

I was a bit wary when I saw the pink box. I thought my Pharmacist was trying to give me a generic one , which happens now and again , even though my records state I can only have Zentiva. So relieved they are genuine! On taking them I wondered if they had a ‘bitter’ aftertaste.

I’m having gastric problems at the moment so had put it down to that.

Anyone else having trouble getting Zentiva at the moment ?

Boots keep telling me it’s discontinued

I have shown them the information from Lupua UK but they still won’t get them.

Thanks for the heads up on the pink box Ruth I would have been very worried

Barnclown posted the other day lots of information on there. I've not found the zentiva brand to be any different, other than the packaging x

I also have had the very same problem with Boots. Took in pages of info from Lupus UK and luckily I spoke with a pharmacist who was determined to get to the bottom of things etc. I spoke with her again the other day and she said she'd had a long and hard battle to get supply's of Zentiva for me. She had to go through her Head Office and eventually they sorted it and ordered a 6 month supply for me. Hoping the problem is sorted now.

I’ve been quite lucky, I’ve had about four months with zentivia but alas this time I got the horrible quinoric. They don’t upset my stomach but are really horrible to take.

I went through the same struggle with Boots. My local pharmacist persevered and finally managed to get 6 packs to put aside for me. They are the new packaging. x
